Android apps make it convenient to fax documents directly from your Android smartphone. The Mobile Fax Free, mFax and PamFax apps are free to download and install from the Android Market. The Mobile Fax Free app allows you to fax single-page documents for free. Mobile Fax Free will convert a picture taken with your phone's camera into a PDF document. The mFax app charges a fee for each fax, and you must have a PayPal account to use it. The PamFax app allows you to fax three pages for free, then charges a fee per fax.
